Radnor Township Hall
is officially listed on the
National Register of Historic Places
This is an exciting honor for the building and for Radnor. The work on this was the result of Pam Zeirott and the support of the Ohio History Connection along with several others including Devon Hardwick, Roger Koch, Joe Preston and Bill Thompson.
In 2024 a marker signifying this designation will be added to the building.
Also in 2024 following the completion of our renovations we will celebrate
this award with the community.
History is
Worth Preserving
The museum is unique in that everything in it was owned and/or was used by Radnor area residents. A suitable museum site was not found until the township trustees, Mike Watkins, Lowell Hetzner and David Jones, offered the use of the old Town Hall, built in 1891. On Memorial Day, 1999, the Radnor Historical Museum opened its doors to the public.
The four rooms of the old Town Hall display antique clothing from several periods, pictures and artifacts depicting home, work, school, social and religious life as it was in this small rural community from its founding in 1803 through the first half of the twentieth century. The museum has become a treasure to the community and receives many visitors annually. Some people travel from far places to see its unique collection and many local patrons bring their families for a trip to the museum.
